Our School Homes

Do you want to know the high ideals of domestic life set before the teachers and students in our school homes? Do you want to know how the faithful managers of our school homes are endeavoring to put these ideals into practice?

“Christian Education” for December tells you some of those ideals in its leading article, by Mrs. E. G. White.

In this number the preceptress of Emmanuel Missionary College reveals how the spiritual interests of student life are cultivated in their school homes.

Associate Editor Shaw gives his estimate of the influence of the home life upon the work of the entire school, and upon the afterlife of the student in the mission field and elsewhere in the work.

MOUNTAIN VIEW (CAL.) CHURCH SCHOOL BUILDING

The editor points out some of the merits of the daily program in our school homes in its bearing on the mental and physical vigor of students, giving a suggestive typical program.

In the Home Education department of the magazine, Mrs. Allen, a former student of Battle Creek College, tells of the successful home school she has carried on for three years in their country home. Mrs. Washburn relates in her sunny way how the home school has turned “Blue Monday” into “Sunny Monday” at their house on wash day. Mrs. White gives valuable instruction on teaching children to be useful.

The Normal department contains good suggestions on the homely but essential duties of caring for the teeth, sewing, and teaching the Bible to children.

Members of the Ministerial Reading Course will be much interested in, and profited by, a full-page cut of the tablet recently discovered near old Babylon, containing an account of Paradise, the fall of man, and the flood; together with a synopsis of the account, and important notes on the fall of Babylon, the River Chebar, Darius the Mede, and other points of interest in the course.

Every issue of Christian Education is full of helpful information for all its readers. It is a very practical educator, visiting our homes each month for only $1 a year.
